  8. restore made it worse

    after mysteriously losing all the widgets on several pages, I tried to restore from a known backup point. this made the problem MUCH worse. Not only did the widgets not come back, but the pages themselves disappeared. PLEASE FIX THE BASICS BEFORE ADDING NEW FEATURES.
